Be the Change

Be the change

Delta Kappa Nu is a social sorority based in Australia, which is focused on social and philanthropic activities to improve women's lives around the world. Sharing fun friendship, and sisterhood, Delta Kappa Nu helps its members grow to be well rounded pillars of the community. In reality, it means a group of wonderful women who get together on a regular basis, to share and celebrate their lives and make charitable contributions to worthy causes. Think the Brotherhood lunch club, without all the bad press.

Sisterhood

Sisterhood is very important to Delta Kappa Nu. Sisters are selected based on their contributions to society and their ability to contribute to their chapters. Delta Kappa Nu is a non-hazing sorority, and welcoming to those of the LGBT community. We are open to all religions, political persuasions or philosophies. Forget what you have seen in the movies, a sorority woman can be anyone, in any shape, who has the dedication and sisterly spirit to contribute.

The Delta WomanA Delta Kappa Nu woman is one who values friendship and philanthropy and believes in her own ability to effect change in the world for all women. She does not have to be a college student, but she must be someone who values knowledge. A Delta Kappa Nu woman is of good character and strives to live up to the ideals and founding principles of our organisation.

Philanthropy

Philanthropy is a special part of the Delta Kappa Nu sisterhood. Every meeting involves some form of philanthropy, even if it is just a small donation.Through our annual charity fundraising events, Delta Kappa Nu will be supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s breast cancer research programs.

The Sorority Ideal

"The sorority idea means close friendship fostered by long association in common interests. The sorority ideal is the symmetrically developed woman, the result of close confidence and lasting friendships with a few congenial spirits." – Ida Shaw Martin, The Sorority Handbook, 1909, p23This quotation, written well over 100 years ago, still holds true to this day. Women need and enjoy places where they can grow and develop lasting friendships and fellowship, and the sorority offers them such a space.
